A strange thing happened today. [View all]
It started with a dream last night where I was trying to help a woman who was about to collapse. She was an older lady and in the dream, I could tell she was very unsteady on her feet. My skills as a therapist kicked in immediately and I had no fear I could stabilize the woman until someone brought a chair, which they did and I got her safely in it. I don't remember much else about the dream.
Later in the morning, I was having friends meet me at the member bash at the local winery. One of my friends wasn't feeling so great and needed to sit down while we were checking in. I got her some fruit leather from the girl at the check-in desk in case it was low blood sugar that was troubling her. She took a few bites and said she was ok, but decided to go home. I told her I would walk her to her car. On the way to the car, she said she was going to faint and was going to fall. Just as in the dream, my skills kicked in and I used my body to hold her up until someone brought a chair. It was so strange to see the exact scenario in my dream play out in real life.
I have had similar things happen to me in life where I "knew" something before I could possibly know it, but to have the scene play out exactly as I saw it in my dream left me with a very strange feeling.
Long story short, after my friend got cleared by the medic that was on the scene, I drove her home and had my husband pick me up and take me back to the winery to meet my other friends. Later this evening when we were all done with festivities I called my friend who had been ill and learned she was in an ambulance being transported to a (SECOND) hospital for the day and was on her THIRD diagnoses for the day--I'm still confused about that, as it sounds like the medical team is too. It's either a blood clot or heart attack. I'm sending good vibes and ask that you do as well. But what a strange, strange day it has been. I'm not sure what to call the situation where I was re-living something in a dream. Maybe I'll do some research.
